Rose signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the veteran’s minimum prior to the season, but his time with the Wine and Gold wasn’t exactly memorable.

The 29-year-old appeared in only 16 games for the Cavaliers because of a persistent ankle injury, and he stepped away from the club in November to “seriously” re-evaluate his future in the NBA, according to ESPN.com’s Wojnarowski and Dave McMenamin.

“He’s tired of being hurt, and it’s taking a toll on him mentally,” a source told the two at the time.

Rose rejoined the Cavaliers in December to continue his rehabilitation, and he returned to the court Jan. 18 following a two-month absence from the rotation.
